THROUGH THE STATE.
Several Hundred Miles of Railroad to DE
Laid in the summer.

Several Hundred Miles of Railroad to be
Laid in the summer.
The new line of railroad, extending from
PittSburg through West Virginia to her
Capital, which has been mentioned before
in the REGISTER, will be commenced in
the summer, rs the following article from
the Pittsburg Times conveys:
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has a force Of engineers at work upon the
valley of the MononSahela river between
Brownsville and the mouth of Cheat river,
surveying the route for the extension of
the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston
road to Morgantown. Thence the road
will follow the MOnOngahela to FairmOnt,
whence it will follow the West Fork river
to Clarksburg. From that point it will
likely occupy the road bed Of the
Weston and Clarksburg narrow gauge to
Weston, whence il will 20 through the
counties of Gilmer, Calhoun and Roane tn
the Kanawha county line, whence 1t will
proceed To Charleston, the capital Of the
State of West Virginia. At that city the
new road will meet the Chesapeake and
Ohio, or the main stem of the great Hun
tington system. The Kanawha and Ohio
road also comes to Charleston from the Ohio
river at Point Pleasant, connecting at that
town with the Ohio River road, a line 22O
miles long, extending from Wheeling,
where it connects with the Pan-llandle
road Of the Pennsylvania system,
Ii has been an open secret for some time
that the Pennsylvania rOad has been try
ing to enter Cincinnati by road through
the Ohio Valley. Senator Camden, Oi
West Virginia, has been cooperating with
the Pennsylvania Railroad aud Azs fur
nished it a link in his Ohio Rixer road.
He has also contracted for the extension of
his road from Point Pleasant to Hunting
ton, where bridge to be used coniOiutly
by the Cleveland and Ohio and the Ohio
River roads will be thrown across the Ohio.
From Portsmouth, Ohio, short distance
below Huntington, \ narrow gauge road
extends into Cincinnati. The possession Of
this road has been sought for by Senator
Camden and emiSSaries of the p. K. K. for
the last eighteen months but other railroad
companies have combined to keep up the
roads separate identity. The narrow
gauge, however, has only a problematic
existence and will in time fall into the
chain as the final link With an absolute
possession Of the West Virginia river front
and road that biSects that State the Z.
K. r. will be early in the coming develop
ment Of the State aud in position to take
charge Ofits great resources.
1t is likely that the Southwest Penpsyl-
yania road will be extended from Fair
chance to the Cheat river next summer
and from the mouth of Cheat toward its
sources, in Randolph county, where it will
connect with the Henry G. Davis system,
the next important interior system ofWest
IYirYinia.
